– Proverbs 1
The Beginning Of
Knowledge?
Proverbs an overview; “The subject of
this book may be thus stated by an enlargement on the opening verses. 1. The
Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel. 2. Which treat of the
knowledge of wisdom, of piety towards God, of instruction and moral
discipline, of the understanding wise and prudent counsels. 3. Which treat of
the attainment of instruction in wisdom, which wisdom is to be shown in the
conduct of life, and consists in righteousness with regard to our fellow-creatures.
4. Which treat of the giving to the simple sagacity to discover what is
right, by supplying them with just principles, and correct views of virtue
and vice; and to the young man knowledge, so that he need not err through
ignorance; and discretion, so that by pondering well these precepts, he may
not err through obstinacy. Take the proverbs of other nations, and we shall
find great numbers founded upon selfishness, cunning, pride, injustice,
national contempt, and animosities. The principles of the Proverbs of Solomon
are piety, charity, justice, benevolence, and true prudence. Their universal
purity proves that they are the word of God.” – Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Concise)
The proverbs of Solomon, begins by pointing
out the wisdom of fearing God. Avoid the temptations of sinners because
sin takes away the life of the trespasser. Wisdom cries out
a warning against scoffers and the fools dislike of knowledge. “32 For the
turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will
destroy them; 33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And
will be secure, without fear of evil."” Proverbs 1:32-33 New King James
Version (NKJV). Proverbs shouts out the wisdom in aligning our
life with God’s precious gift of salvation (see John 3:16-18). In Jesus, we
will find comfort and rest. “33 These
things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you
will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 NKJV. Today
is the day of salvation there is still work to be done. Every
attempt we make to share the love of God has the potential to bring joy to
the angels in heaven (see Luke 15:10)! The potential
for bringing new believers to join in the harvest.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge! Hallelujah! If
the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.
Can you hear Jesus calling you? Do you want God
to set you free? Do you want to find true happiness, peace, and
purpose in your life? If the answer is yes to any of these

Today’s Verse; “34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love
one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this
all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”” John 13:34-35 NKJV.
